old girl wandered through the car look

them both. None but half seats Were
in view. An agreeable youth arose and
insisted on giving up his seat, and the
girls escort said thanks after the
usual stolid fashion. But the girl

'Nou-not at ALL stammered the
man, smiling Mt her responsiyely.
Indeed you are murmured the girl,
with knowing ard wise little shake
of her head.
The man strode on with long-drawn
breath and his eyes very wide open,
while the girl cuddled up beside her
brother, put her head on his shoulder,
after smiling up into his face, and went
gently off to sleep. Every face in the
car wore a more human expression, and
half the passengers beamed on the child
fondly. She was not beautiful but her

young man jumped forward, took her
in his arms, and carried her quietly to
the walk. Then he colored, and looked
ashamed. The woman thanked him

Blanche Roosevelt jumped from the
carrlage-nearly bowling NE oyer there
by-and running up to the red-faced
youth seized one of his hands and gave
it an ecstatlc little squeeze. He turned
and found woman's face looking into
his. 1t was wonderfully expressive
face. The eyes spoke volumes. He
looked into them and seemed transiiXed.
Miss Roosevelt smiled, and said, in a
soft voice. as though whispering to a
baby:
YOU'RE a good fellow, you area

schoolgirl, waived saucy adieu to her
acquaintance on the steamer, and, af-

doubled herself up on big coil of rope
in fashion that defied description, and
began to talk. She had doubled up
both Of her feet under her and was
twisted into just such pose as we have
all seen graceful children fall into when
romplng on the floor, and wondered
how they could possibly do it. Miss
Terry bestowed direct look and per-
sonal smile on every man in the group
on the trip up the harbor, and it was
